George Orwell's 1984 Background Research Jigsaw Groups
Divide:
Each group member chooses one research topic: George Orwell, Totalitarianism, Dystopian Society, Orwellian, Big Brother, Social Apathy
Research:
Each group member moves to expert group to research topic and create a shared Google Slide Presentation of maximum three slides with MLA citations (must use your Sweetwater Schools Google Drive accounts). Each expert group will work together to prepare slides to bring back to your home group including the following criteria:
Definition and visual
Topic's connection/relevance to social Context of 1940's with evidence (how topic relates to historical time period)
Evidence of Orwell's and/or society's philosophies on the topic
Return to your home group to combine each of your group members slides to create ONE Google Slide Presentation covering all of the background categories
Submit the link to your Google Slide Presentation to Ms. C in Jupiter Grades.
In your digital or spiral 1984 notebook, consider the question is today 1984? and reflect on the following:
Describe one of George Orwell's philosophical assumptions or motifs/themes of 1984 you can infer from today's research and presentations. Then, analyze a societal norm from today and how it either supports or refutes Orwell's philosophy and cite evidence and examples to support your analysis.
